Stronsay Development Trust Hosts N76, Orkney & Shetland
Colleagues \u2013 Sunshine and Project Updates! <br>
Today, we rolled out the blue skies and sunshine to welcome visitors
from development groups from across Orkney and Shetland, along with
colleagues from the N76 project groups in Dumfries & Galloway
and East Ayrshire as part of the Community Energy Scotland Rural
Energy Hubs project focussed on Community Transport \U0001f6b6\U0001f6b6\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\U0001f6b2\U0001f696\U0001f68c\U0001f6e5\ufe0f<br>
After an early start on the ferry, the group got stuck into a day of
project updates, discussions and scenic walks/tours! Highlights of
the visit included the Men\u2019s Shed at the Mission Hall, the boatie
hoose and tidal toilets(!), the community greenhouse, Beechwood
housing, and top-tier food at Stronsay Hotel & Pub, featuring an
excellent breakfast and a cracking curry for lunch.<br>
Along the way, there was plenty of discussion about community
development, rural and island challenges, and\u2014thanks to one
particularly speedy driver who didn\u2019t slow down for our sizeable
group\u2014an unexpected but very enthusiastic national snap survey on
inconsiderate drivers! Turns out, whether you\u2019re in Orkney,
Shetland, Dumfries & Galloway, or East Ayrshire, there\u2019s always
one!<br>
Speaking of ferries, we may have just witnessed Orkney Ferries
busiest Nordic Sea sailing from Stronsay yet this refit\u2014proof that
when it comes to community development, we can quite literally pack
them in!<br>
A massive thanks to all who made the trip\u2014we loved having you and
keep in touch!<br>
